Travie McCoy Talks Lazarus

The Gym Class hero speaks on his new album

Travie McCoy from rap group Gym Class Heroes has recently revealed that his solo forthcoming album  Lazarus wasn’t always an upbeat project.

He told The Associated Press: "It's just where I was at mentally. Art imitates life and I tend to write a lot about my experiences and things I've been through. And at the time, there was a lot of crazy stuff going on in my family; there was a couple deaths.

"All that was kind of creeping its way into the music and I was like, 'I need to stop this right now.’ I've been known to kind of wear my heart on my sleeve so to speak. And this time around, I just wanted it to be fun."
